I found an odd switch in my firebird, I've never seen one of these before and was hoping somebody might know what it's for?

It really bugs me! Because I have seen plenty of interiors but I've never seen this switch!

 

It's an aftermarket switch and it could be for just about anything. It could be aftermarket driving lights, amplifier switching, or any number of other things.

 

Thanks! I just remembered that I saw Wires in the trunk! maybe it was for the amplifier? Idk

 

Judging by the poor wiring and where it is located, it is most likely an amplifier wire, I would remove it asap, also the speaker wiring is connected so I guess they got that part right?

 

Call me stupid but, How would I be able to remove it?

 

It's funny because I had a switch like that in car, I 'thought' it was for the driving lights. When I actually traced the wires, one was connected to the horn the other was connected directly to the battery. Yes, it was set up to allow someone to honk the horn because the little tab on the back of the horn button broke. It also burned the horn out and now I get to replace it. Luckily I have nearly everything fixed and I know the horn relay still works from the column.

 

naw that is a legitimate question,
- first I would unhook the battery (to be safe),
-next take off your radio bezel faceplate,
-next find where the wires are probably spliced into the radio harness, -after you sever the connections,
- you can apply shrink wrap electrical tape or depending on how they were spliced.
-Finally the switch is probably screwed in with a random drywall screw found dug up in a backyard, unscrew it and hook your battery back up.
-If your car is not on fire, you did it right.
